Preparing for Camp

The amazing summer camp at Cedarwood is soon to begin. We now have an additional ten staff on-site helping to get everything setup for the summer.
"To God be the glory, great things He has done!"

I'm reminded of the little boy who kept annoying his dad while he sat in his recliner reading the paper. Finally little Johnny ran, jumped up on his dad's lap, threw his arms around him and said "Dad, I just had to tell you how much I love you!"
Well, I just have to tell you what the Lord has been doing in our lives these last few months regarding our calling to the ministry with Youth For Christ in winnipeg, Manatoba.

It is hard to believe, but we have already reached over 70% of our needed financial faith promises. Reminds me of Philipians 4:19 "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." I think that the more we trust the Lord, the more He brings opportunities to truly trust Him.

For example, my one year intern job at the RadioShack Headquarters has been graciously extended to nearly two years now but could be terminated since they may begin lay-offs at anytime and Lisa's job teaching preschool has ended.

Yet we know our Father can and will keep doing exceedingly above anything we can ask or imagine. Lisa and I also know that through all these situations God is shaping us for our part in His great Kingdom work.

First, and most important, is our need for you to keep us in your prayers.

Remember what we learn in James 5:16
"The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
One of the "problems" we have right now is a lack of patience. We are so excited and anxious to physically begin serving the Lord in Winnipeg now that the summer camp program is about to begin. Pray that we will be patient in serving the Lord each day right where we are.

Secondly, pray concerning that 25% still needed for our support. Many of you have already sent in your faith promise and we are so grateful for the commitment you have made.

Pray that the Lord will lay the burden of unreached teens upon the hearts of His people and they will see their need to become involved in this amazing camp ministry.

Maybe you have a small group, church, Sunday school, class, or business that would be interested in a worthy tax free donation.
